Patent CA-2362568-C (CA)
Inventor: MILLAR ORD
IPC: G01N27/49
Filed: 2000-02-22
Granted: 2007-10-30
Abstract: The Applicant's invention comprises an apparatus and method for determining the amount of one or more components in a pulping liquor. At a first electrode, a varying voltage is supplied in a voltage range including the half-wave potential of each component of a liquor to be measured, and accounting for variations in the half-wave potential caused by changing process parameters. At a second electrode, which is roughly 1/3 to ? the size of the first electrode, the derivative of current intensity is monitored near the known half-wave potential for the various liquor components. Using curve-fitting means, the derivative of current intensity and selected other process condition data is used to determine concentrations of the various liquor components.

Abstract: The invention concerns a rotor intended to rotate in a fluid flowing in a flow direction (A) and comprising a plurality of rotor blades (2), at the most four blades, which are arranged to rotate about an axis of rotation (3). Each blade (2) forms a single-curved surface the generatrix of which extends in a plane normal to the axis of rotation, and an imaginary plane interconnecting the leading edge and trailing edge of the blade forms an acute angle with the axis of rotation (3). In addition, each blade is pivotally mounted for pivotal movement about a pivot shaft (8) in order to adjust said angle, said pivot shaft (8) extending in a plane that is normal to the axis of rotation (3) and is parallel to and spaced a distance (d) from an imaginary radius (9) radiating from the axis of rotation (3). The rotor is very silent and provides efficient energy conversion, for example extraction of wind power.

Abstract: The present invention relates to solid state silicon-based condenser microphone systems suitable for batch production. The combination of the different elements forming the microphone system is more flexible compared to any other system disclosed in the prior art. Electrical connections between the different elements of the microphone system are established economically and reliably via a silicon carrier using flip-chip technology. The invention uses an integrated electronic circuit chip, preferably an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which may be designed and manufactured separately and independent of the design and manufacture of the transducer element of the microphone. The complete sensor system can be electrically connected to an external substrate by surface mount technology with the contacts facing one side of the system that is not in conflict with the above-mentioned interface to the environment. This allows the user to apply simple and efficient surface mount techniques for the assembly of the overall system.

Filed: 2003-12-22
Granted: 2010-07-27
Abstract: A system and method for mapping a ground strip having an extended range swath includes a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mounted on a moving platform. The ground strip is divided into columns they extend from the near-range edge of the ground strip. Each column contains two or more portions and has an azimuthal length equal to the radar's near-range beamwidth, W. Each column is sequentially illuminated while the platform moves through a distance, L illum, (equal to the near range beamwidth). During column illumination, portions within the column are sequentially mapped by altering the depression angle, .phi., of the radar beam. Each portion is SAR mapped using a respective SAR apertur a length with the sum of aperture lengths for the column being less than or equal to the distance the platform moves during illumination. The resultant maps are mosaicked together to produce one contiguous SAR map of the ground strip.
